At least 5 years in jail, Rs 50 lakh fine: New anti-paper leak law highlights
The Indian government introduced a stringent anti-paper leak law in Lok Sabha, imposing a minimum five-year jail term and a ₹50 lakh fine for those convicted of involvement in such leaks. This legislation follows nationwide student protests and aims to expedite investigations by setting a two-month deadline for completion. The move comes after significant political pressure, including the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan amid allegations of excessive force used against protesters.
